Although most American audiences know Matt Berry for enjoying frisky vampire Laszlo on What We Do in the Shadows, he’s had a lengthy comedy career in his native England, highlighted by cult-beloved exhibits like Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace, The Mighty Boosh, and Toast of London, to call only a few.
That final challenge—which received him a BAFTA—has morphed into Toast of Tinseltown, which sees important character Steven Toast (Berry) heading to Hollywood after being forged in a brand new Star Wars film, or so he believes. Although Toast of Tinseltown was launched final 12 months, it’s about to be very accessible stateside, streaming free on the Roku Channel beginning August 11.
Right here’s the trailer:
The official synopsis: “Be part of Steven Toast, a fed-up London actor, voice-over artist, and theater legend, as he embarks on a wild journey to Hollywood in the hunt for stardom—within the type of a ‘main function’ he’s been promised within the newest installment of Star Wars. Befriended by a mysterious passenger named Russ Nightlife (Fred Armisen) on his flight, as Toast takes on Tinseltown, he tangles with indignant administrators, will get misplaced within the desert, and realizes that he could also be out of London, however he’s by no means out of dangerous luck.”
We notice this isn’t truly a sci-fi present, after all, however who can say no to having their day brightened by seeing Matt Berry in something? (Sure, even that rattling Minecraft film he was not too long ago forged in.) And we’ll take a great Star Wars gag any day, even when the subsequent Star Wars film is years away at this level.
